Effects of deletions in PDI on transport through the secretory pathway. a, Wild-type and mutant cells were pulse-labeled for 10 min at 30°C with 35S-methionine/cysteine, followed by chase incubations for the indicated periods of time. At each time point, cells were lysed and CPY immunoprecipitated. Proteins were resolved on a 7.5% SDS gel and visualized by PhosphorImaging. b, SICs were prepared from wild-type cells and PDI deletion mutants. In vitro translated, radiolabeled ppαf was translocated into the ER of these SICs, and cells were incubated in the presence of ATP, an ATP-regenerating system, and 120 μg/25 μl reaction yeast cytosol for the indicated periods of time at 24°C. Budded vesicles containing gpαf were separated from SICs by differential centrifugation; radiolabeled, glycosylated gpαf was isolated from vesicle and SIC fractions by ConA precipitation, and quantified by scintillation counting.
